Stan Lee with Another Cameo

Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee apparently has yet
another hero flick cameo, this one in the upcoming X3. Lee says it’s one of his biggest cameos to date, and it
involves a word that we can’t print here on our family friendly website. As Lee
tells it, he plays an old man watering his lawn in suburbia, as a telekinetic
mutant drives by and gestures toward Lee. The water then stops falling from the
hose towards to ground, and begins “falling” upwards, to which Lee apparently
responds “what the f***.” He had to say it quietly, though, as a very audible
line could jeopardize the film’s rating.

I know there are some questions regarding Lee and his
relationship with Marvel these days, and regarding Lee’s career in general. I
remain a steadfast fan despite all this. Don’t get me wrong, I know his recent
stuff has been pretty poor, but c’mon, the dude helped create a ton of Marvel comics, and his name is still on every issue
of the Four. He is a legend of the
industry, and I think it’s neat that he’s appearing in Marvel flicks, even if
the parts are occasionally stupid.
